We have got just two weeks to go for the biggest 'Stop Cruelty to Animals in
Ireland' event ever organized by ARAN or indeed any other Irish animal group
and we hope you are as excited as we are about this upcoming event! Please
keep reading on to learn more about what will happen on the day and please
set aside this one special day http://www.aran.ie/pledge08.html to make
sure you are with many other people as we celebrate animals and call for
tougher laws to protect them - we just cannot do it with you!

With the new Irish animal welfare bill coming into force hopefully this
year, now has never been such a good time to raise awareness and kick up a
fuss inside of Dail Eireann. We need to show the Irish government that there
are people across Ireland who care deeply about animals and people who want
to see an end to animal abuse once and for all. Animal Rights Action Network
has been working with the Irish Gardai to ensure we have a proper safe route
planned for our peaceful march where we'll set off from the Garden of
Remembrance where we'll march down through the busy shopping district of
O'Connell Street right down through Nassau Street and onto the Mont Clare
hotel to hear some inspirational speech's from dedicated campaigners. We
will be joined by our good friends from many of Ireland's other respected
animal protection groups like CIWF Ireland, Irish Anti-vivisection Society,
Irish Vegetarian Society and many more. We've also got support from many of
Ireland's animal rescue groups and support from the ISPCA for this peaceful
and touching event. We also have campaigners and supporters coming from
Northern Ireland and we'll also hear words of support from Animal Rights
Action Network's campaign partners at VIVA UK, Animal Aid, Uncaged,
Naturewatch, National Anti-Vivi Section Society, Animal Defenders
International and many more - respected groups whom have been speaking
highly of our work to help animals.

We cannot overly state how important it is for you to be there with us!
Please do whatever it takes to book the Sunday October 5th, 2008 off work,
college, study or anything else that may stand in your way! Because of
man-power and lack of resources we will not be organizing an event of this
size for many more years to come - so please, let nothing stand in your way,
be with us on October 5th. Please invite any friends and family along and be
sure to have them watch our inspiring video

Ps, because of the financial support we receive from many of ARAN's loyal
supporters, this event has been made possible. These special groups of
supporters are helping us to direct your average member of the public to the
animal's plight and we're making a huge positive difference across the
country, thank you.
